Snow Blues

It was snowing this morning as I came to work. I couldn't help but think of the way pepper falls out of the shake and onto mashed potatoes as I watched the snow. Actually I've been into snow this year and it all started from a conversation with my younger sister. She lives in the mountains of western North Carolina and they rarely ever get "substantial" snow except for the rare, late March, big, wet, dump out snow. The kind of snow that falls heavy, lays heavy and takes out the power for two weeks. Back in December, my sister had her house all decorated for Christmas with hopes of a little wonderful, white touch from Heaven. It never showed up. So she declared that she was leaving her outside Christmas lights in place until she gets 2 inches of snow. "I'm on snow watch!" she declared. And I am too. I am here in Indiana watching all the snow that one person can stand!
